Tuhi, your storage assistant · AI access for other assistants

What are the two ways to connect an assistant to Storage Studio?

Short answer: A direct local connection, for tools that connect to Storage Studio while it's running, and the standard MCP setup, for tools like Claude Desktop that start it in a small background mode. Settings → Connections gives the snippet for each.

Storage Studio supports both common setups:

  • A direct local connection — for tools that connect straight to Storage Studio while it's running on your Mac.
  • The standard MCP setup — for tools like Claude Desktop, which start Storage Studio in a small background mode when they need to read your storage.

The Connections pane gives you the right snippet for each; pick whichever your assistant expects. With the direct connection, Storage Studio needs to be running for the assistant to reach it.
